at ten pm moscow time shocking video of alleged war crimes emerges appearing to show syrian rebels executing government troops. america's record military budgets off topic because the presidential candidates resume campaigning in the aftermath of superstorm sandy. ukase deputy pm warns the country could become isolated inside the e.u. now after rebel lawmakers voted to cut the brussels budget polls show many britons will think that do you view. hello than a very good evening to you this is our team when i was kevin know in the first this
2:01 pm
evidence of brutality by syria's rebel fighters has been branded shocking by human rights organizations and the u.n. says the killings of syrian soldiers if confirmed constitutes another war crime online footage appears to show the summary execution of twenty eight syrian troops in the north now this video can't be independently verified but it is seemingly of rebels beating and kicking the soldiers some of whom were wounded before shooting the dead. china is calling for a phased ceasefire and a gradual power transition in syria the united states plans to get greater influence for frontline militants the president of the arab lawyers association told us washington would back anyone to get it. there has been similar incidents on many occasions but at that time when the usa was having a different view than it has now they were saying it's all committed by the regime now not suggesting that the regime does not commit these crimes. to me both sides
2:02 pm
are doing this but this particular one it is a war crime in any event shooting people after this and specially without the people is a war crime in law both domestic and international and i think this should be viewed in that light the western states especially the usa and france where willing to probably sacrifice half the population of syria to get rid of the regime they were not choosy in there and they're backing anybody anybody who actually pause. on a fire which is burning is actually participating in the crowd this is what the u.s. is doing this is what france europe and the u.k. are doing and this is the reason why for instance kofi annan and the the mission he said if you want to change the regime go and do it if you want to me to stop the killing then stop putting the trial on the fire this is what the letter brahimi is facing now and the second attempt to try and stop the killing but i think the
2:03 pm
western nations they are talking one way and acting in another way but i think what is amazing it when the secretary of state of the usa has dramatically changed its position when they were pushing all the world to recognize the council as the lest the only one which represents the syrian people now they've decided it doesn't but i think now they're changing the rules of the game britain's deputy prime minister is warning rebel lawmakers they could leave britain isolated within the e.u. conservative m.p.'s or in the governing coalition sided with the opposition and define prime minister david cameron by voting for cuts to the money britain hands over to brussels every year on his or smith. out hanging over the houses of parliament could this be the beginning of the end of britain's membership of the european union pro europe deputy prime minister nick clegg certainly seems to fear so he's said that wednesday's rebellion by conservative m.p.'s when they voted in
2:04 pm
favor of cutting the budget the e.u. could leave britain either isolated inside the union all out of it altogether that will be music to the is of many who support leaving the e.u. the money britain contributes has become a huge burden of contention while brussels encourages e.u. member countries to tighten their belts it doesn't appear to be tightening its own and in fact if the e.u. commission gets its weight britain will be forced to pay an extra one point three billion pounds next year in budget contributions on top of the eleven billion we already pay and we'd soon be handing over a staggering twenty two thousand pounds a minute to brussels david cameron has promised till negotiate a deal that means u.k. contributions would rise only in line with inflation but that's proven not good
2:05 pm
enough this week with rebels in his own party demanding a real terms cards in cash going to the e.u. there's a summit in brussels to discuss the budget towards the end of the month and this could all push cameron into taking a tougher stance which could end in annual budget negotiations with the union and eventually what nick clegg fears but many support a slide out of the e.u. altogether. the last time the british public voted on being part of europe was back in one hundred seventy five hundred joined up to what was then the european economic community here were people not all told this is high time people got another chance to to choose. britain actually i was of the states which is in the currency we pay to the tune of around fifty million pounds a day just to be members of our club doesn't take into account the mega amounts of money the street tens of billions it costs us to comply with the e.u.
2:06 pm
directives and regulations of its bed and some of the british people it's something we know happy about it's something which we want a referendum on if you look at recent opinion polls eighty percent of people want a referendum around sixty percent of people actually want to leave the european union altogether so the people are certainly moving away the political class structure motherhood i mean the problem that you've got is the austerity doesn't exist in the european union and might exist in the member countries where we're asking to cut back on almost everything we have realized that if the out the money doesn't. matter they spend more and more every single year the budget goes all the member states including states such as greece and portugal and ireland who would in serious trouble will be asked to put their hands in their pockets and give most apostles it's wrong seventeen years it is now since the accounts of concerns of look if the european union was a company then the directors on the chief executive would all be in jail but it's not it's corrupt and that's another reason why the british people want that referendum and want to leave. paul nettle there british media reporting that the
2:07 pm
u.k. is on standby to send warplanes to the persian gulf the jets would be stationed in the united arab emirates just a couple of hundred kilometers from iran they're somewhere out there with antiwar activists in london jungle even and the the u.a.e. apparently wants a bolstered british military presence there now given iran's recent threats to block all shipments through the strait of hormuz and the huge drama that would incur will u.k. fighter jets secure or indeed destabilize the gulf well i think it's apparent would destabilize the situation and this is not the first report we've heard all western increased deployments in the area there's been a whole spate of them in recent weeks and months which all point in the same direction of increased u.s. british and western nations deploying a great deal more than the normal commitment to the to the gulf area not big enough in. in normal times no bridges most of defenses saying it readily deploys planes in
2:08 pm
the u.a.e. it's not of the concerns about iran's nuclear program nonetheless that i guess it you've got to ask is it a wise move at this sensitive time do you yes i mean i think we're coming to a decision point here i think many people understand but the condition of the western stance towards both syria and iran is shaped by the u.s. presidential elections they are about. we know the new western syrian opposition group is supposed to be united on the day of the us elections and i think that whoever wins the presidential election of the united states we can expect. in respect of iran to move much more quickly after that as well yeah i mean if those players did arrive how would react you think. well it's bound to increase the sense of isolation by him to increase the sense that huge economic as we know from the sanctions regime diplomatic and military force is
2:09 pm
ready for deployment against iran of course still must be noted must know they're there israeli defense minister said in london only this week that iran does not pull back from its alleged nuclear weapons program so begs the question why this apparent escalation from other countries at this time yes i think we've seen a very complex series those sort of moves counter moves bluff statements and so forth in the course of the u.s. elections or by the exact timing and about relations between israel and the united states over any attack on iran but as i say i think that process is about to come when we we read stories that the israelis and the u.s. have now come to an agreement about a time scale within which they must deal with iran so that's going to happen today after the u.s. elections but i do think that things will move on and we'll be clear exactly what the program of deploying further pressure on the iranian regime is in a week or so is time and of course there's also this big issue of you can have it
2:10 pm
or we can have it you can't activists accusing the british foreign secretary william hague a double standards on iran's nuclear program he never mentioned israel's alleged stockpile when he met his israeli counterpart why does it never come up in official talks. well i think we all understand what the imperial structure of the of the middle east is and that is that the western powers britain and america with the support britain and other western european powers believe that it has an absolute right to control this area of the globe and it employs the israeli state has its watchdog in the in the area so the israeli state is always beyond criticism always beyond reproach always given unqualified support by the united states and bar by britain and and some of them some of the most pros are statements have been made by the current british prime minister david cameron really really briefly john i got thirty seconds the british defense secretary says europe must be ready to play a bigger role in north africa the middle east does the region really need the ukase
2:11 pm
involvement right now well i think at any any century any hundred years that opened up with the sox because agreement that is an agreement by british politicians on a french diplomat to draw the borders of the middle east we look at one hundred years of that history has looked like in terms of destabilization mystery exploitation invasion and war and you have to conclude that it is long overdue for the west to keep out of the race who appreciate your time thanks for an r.t. international. no mention of military money as the u.s. presidential candidates resume complaining in the aftermath of the storm coming up we look at the legacy of america's foreign wars and how it affects his finances as well as his people plus to see roy fail to get their claws into copyright in the wake of the cathedral stunt it's a bid to make big bucks from the brands being thrown out we go plates for you we'll update you just a couple of minutes. what's

a certain kind of person who enjoys abusing their uniform to make the helpless suffer you can't tolerate sadists or those with napoleon complexes in the police and you know what they aren't that hard to spot in the shower because if you like to tase the elderly or shoot wheelchair bound people then you probably don't have much of a certain something but that's just my opinion. will two parties keep us politics a one way street. or will new voices disrupt the power power alone. cause if america changes trunks to a selection of clothes god monday nov fifth one or two.
